NCAA March Madness: 2019 Women’s DI Championships

NCAA March Madness starts in just a few weeks. For the women’s championships, a number of questions are on the table. Will Notre Dame repeat? Or, can Connecticut reclaim the crown that has eluded them the past two seasons?

According to the NCAA, 345 Division I women’s basketball teams are eligible for NCAA March Madness. 64 teams ultimately will compete in the single elimination tournament with 32 teams receiving automatic bids. The Division I Women’s Basketball Championship Sport Committee will decide the rest.

Dates and tickets for the 2019 Division I Women’s Basketball Championship regionals and Final Four are available now. First and second rounds will be held at 16 campus sites announced on Monday, March 18. Four teams will play at each site, with the winning team from each site advancing to the regionals.
